Nashville’s Nashies’ Wish List For Season 3
I grew up in Chicago’s West Rogers Park neighborhood, which is predominately an Assyrian, Indian, and Jewish hood, so I didn’t grow up hearing a lot of Waylon, Patsy, or Chris Gains’ alter-ego–Garth Brooks. Thanks to Hulu and a realization that I need to stop re-watching The Wire, I fell in love with ABC’s Nashville. Just like The Wire, the Nashville music scene is a cut-throat milieu where one minute you’re on top of the game and the next minute you’re gun down (well not really, except for that inexplicable time the first lady of Nashville was shot–RIP Peggy Kenter.) Oh and Hamsterdam architect Major Bunny Colvin has been on it too, soooo there, I take it back, the analogy still works!
After one episode of the melodramatic Nashville and you realize it’s ridiculously ridiculous and #SorryNotSorry but I love it. And even if you can’t stand the occasionally cringeworthy dialogue there’s some legit musical performances every episode. Read More…
Should I Give F**ks If Someone Says “Zero F**ks Given”?
An edgy buzz phrase that all the kids (redditors) are saying on social media is “Zero Fucks Given“. Other iterations of the phrase are: “Not a single fuck was given“, “I gave none of the fucks“, “Bullshit: 1 Fucks: 0“, “Exactly/percisely no fucks given“, and my own offering to the lexicon of internet speak”I would say fuck you but that would mean I had an iota of fucks to spare–which I don’t because keeping tracks of my fucks would imply that I give a fucks about shit and alas I don’t fucks with fucks-tracking.”
But what if you’re like me and don’t idle on apathy? I sweat the small stuff, worry about nonsense, and overanalyze everything. The concept of giving zero fucks is fucked up to me. What if we all didn’t contribute our fair share of fucks? It’d be a no fucks free for all!!
Let’s take a look at those who perpetually don’t award fucks to anything and ask yourself if you’d like to be in this bad company:
Lululemon, and Abercrombie when it comes to staying in business. YouTube commentors. Those kids on the bus with dat swag who might beat the shit out of you. Read More…
Wearable Technology At SXSW
AUSTIN, TX–SXSW is ground zero for techies and fest loving fashionistas. The two ilks have co-mingled and have birthed a hybrid baby. Wearable Technology like Google Glass, or watch calculators are sooo 55 minutes from now. Here’s a few prototypes that may hit the runways IRL in Milan or on the cyber-bohemian streets of the #ATX:
American Apparel’s Pacemaker on Your Sleeve: This is for the emotionally-open elderly who ooze sex appeal. This classic white tee made in an American sweatshop harkens back to the Hot-Rod 50’s where rolling up a pack of cigarettes was all it took to make one a teenage wet dream. This shirt allows rebels with causes–like watching FOX NEWS, and cash’in dem sexy $ocial $ecurity checks–to capture that youthful invincibility, but with a vulnerability you could bring home to mom. PYS allows seniors to roll their fully functional pacemakers in their left sleeve for optimal badass-ness. James Dean, eat our fake hearts out! Read More…
